Every story has a foreshadowing, and Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress is no different. The day before he spoke, the Senate confirmed Linda McMahon, the former WWE executive, to be his secretary of Education, a department he wants to eliminate.
Typically, a delegation of both parties accompanies the president as he enters the chamber. As we watched Trump enter the chamber that his supporters tried to breach four years ago, he received jubilant applause. Republicans are still riding on the sugar high of their November 5 victory. Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of his biggest supporters in Congress, donned a red Make America Great Again hat.
